Heightened demand from citizens for the release of the contract between government and ExxonMobil and answers to whether a US$20M signature bonus was paid here could see a faster release of information, Government’s Petroleum Advisor Jan Mangal says.
“I believe the civil society and the people have a large role to play and it would probably be quicker if civil society and the people believe it was important and voiced their beliefs,” Mangal said during an interview yesterday.
Further, he added, “Ultimately they will publish it but it might be quicker if there is some pressure.”
